Chapter 2021 Powerless To Salvage Things Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Roxanne found something off about Madilyn's claim of making a trip back to Xandenia to visit her

ancestors' graves.

Mdm. Xander isn't from Xandenia in the first place, merely having gone there to work when she was

young. What ancestors could the Xander family hove there? With that said, Madilyn couldn't possibly

be visiting her biological father's ancestors' graves. After all, that piece-of-trash father of hers doesn't

regard her os a daughter even now.

Following that line of thought, she was convinced that her best friend was lying to her and had some

other reason for going to Xandenia.

That aside, it must have something to do with that sc*mbag father of hers.

When Lucian returned home, he swiftly informed his wife about the situation.

He told her that Cayden reported about Jonathan bringing along a great number of bodyguards when

he accompanied Madilyn to Xandenia.

At once, the couple started worrying. Is he planning to hove a fight with someone that he brought so

many bodyguards along?

Thus, Roxanne quickly phoned her best friend.

As soon as the call went through, she asked urgently, “Are you okay, Madilyn? Did something serious

happen? Don't hide it and keep me in the dark. Tell me, quick!”

Realizing that she would not be able to keep the truth from Roxanne, Madilyn told her everything.

As Roxanne listened, fury lined her features, and she gritted her teeth hard.

“Stay calm, Roxanne. You must keep yourself in a good mood now that you're pregnant. We're all fine

and are on our way back. However, we're not planning to take a flight this time. Jonathan said he'd

bring us around for some fun while making the return trip.”

Madilyn sounded relaxed, putting Roxanne at ease.

All that notwithstanding, she had a new understanding of her best friend's piece of trash of a father,

Norton, and his contemptible family.

Good Lord! Forcibly taking Mdm. Xander away is already a crime. On top of that, they even had

delusions of using Madilyn as a pawn for a political marriage! How ridiculous!

After hanging up the phone, Roxanne related the situation to Lucian. When Lucian had listened to it all,

he wore a relaxed expression, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

“Jonathan has really seen the light. With this trip, not only has he secured his girlfriend, but he'd

undoubtedly won his future mother- in-law over. Let's just wait to attend their wedding.”

Mulling it over, Roxanne felt that it indeed made sense.

“I'm still mad, Lucian. Norton Sheffield is a downright sc*mbag!” Rage still blazed within her.

“I know of him. He's exceedingly barbaric in his tactics of doing business in Xandenia. I reckon there's

likely a problem with Southern Star Group that he's so desperate to force Madilyn into a political

marriage. In that case, I don't mind giving things a push.”

With that said, Lucian snagged his phone and gave Cayden a call.

“Investigate the condition of Southern Star Group in Xandenia and teach their chairman, Mr. Sheffield,

a hard lesson!”

“Understood!” Cayden answered, all too familiar with the tactics in doing so.

In no time, he dug out a ton of problems with the company. There was a whole boatload of them.

It turned out that Southern Star Group invested in mineral resources abroad in recent years, but all the

projects failed.

The company's debt ratio had also swelled to epic proportions. With just a prick, it would burst like a

balloon.

In fact, it had even violated the law in many ways previously, such as its real estate companies

acquiring land by illegal means and its mineral processing plants causing severe damage to the

environment.

In the face of all that, Lucian ordered, “Leak everything out.”

Needless to say, an empty company worth nothing much in market value could not withstand such

scandals. Hence, Southern Star Group's shares would certainly plummet for several days in a row until

the company became insolvent.

Consequently, the various banks and creditors would definitely come knocking at the door to collect the

debts in a mad frenzy.

At that time, Norton would be powerless to salvage things.
